There's always been some cases of discrepancy between tennis players and the judges on whether a line call was properly made or not. A recent study from Sussex University explained how the science behind motion perception can shed some light behind this very competitive sport. You can find out the results of the study in our full article after the jump. |

The question of how the universe came to be is a common one now, and the Big Bang theory does a good job of giving us clues on what actually happened. However, has anyone stopped to think what there was before the huge explosion of matter? Scientists have, and they say there could very well have been a twin universe to ours before this one came to be. Details in the full article. |

A new kind of material is making quite a lot of buzz among scientists. Called graphene, this new material recently aided researchers in calculating one of the fundamental constants of nature, allowing us to solve one of the universe's mysteries. The amazing thing is, graphene is only an atom thick. Read more in the full article. |

There's a possibility that the Large Hadron Collider's ATLAS detector might be able to reveal extra dimensions. But for now the only thing it is able to unveil is the fact that it's facing a lawsuit right now. Fermilab and CERN's project has been put to a halt due to worries and fears by critics. Read more on this in the full article. |

For the socialites, telling another the time just boils down to how much bling factor your watch flashes. But for the techie in some of us, it's not about the shimmer and pizazz - it's how pretty darned accurate your chronometer's counting the seconds passed. Researchers from the National Institute of Science and Technology have claimed they've got a pair of clocks using ions and optics, and they're both way up there in terms of accurate timekeeping. |

Curious to know just exactly what the photo on the left is? Well, that photo is on of the snapshots taken by researchers of electron motion. The researchers used a new technique in order to achieve this. With this, they will be allowed to study this tiny particle's movements directly. Catch the video after the jump! |

As consoles get more powerful, they break the boundaries of what they were originally designed for. While they were only limited to games before, they are now lending their power for use in the sciences, from medicine to computing the physics of two black holes colliding. Read more on the role of consoles in the fields of science by going to the full article. |

Until now, the most precise clock
that existed is the official atomic clock of the National Institute of
Standards and Technology that's accurate down to the second for 80 million years. Now a new clock is vying for its position: a clock that actually traps atoms and monitors their "ticking" to measure time. The clock is also accurate to the second, and will be for 200 million years. Details in the full article. |
